Everyone has the same questions about best friends Owen and Luna: What binds them together so tightly? Why weren’t they ever a couple? And why do people around them keep turning up dead? In this riveting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Passenger, every answer raises a new, more chilling question.

 

Synopssis:

Owen Mann is charming, privileged, and chronically dissatisfied. Luna Grey is secretive, cautious, and pragmatic. Despite their differences, they form a bond the moment they meet in college. Their names soon become indivisible—Owen and Luna, Luna and Owen—and stay that way even after an unexplained death rocks their social circle.

They’re still best friends years later, when Luna finds Owen’s wife brutally murdered. The police investigation sheds light on some long-hidden secrets, but it can’t penetrate the wall of mystery that surrounds Owen. To get to the heart of what happened and why, Luna has to dig up the one secret she’s spent her whole life burying.

Review:

How well do we now the people around us? Do we know their past? Or do we know the past they tell us, which might not be the truth? Even in this day and age, we might do a social media check on new people in our lives, but do we really dig DEEP? The answer is propbably not, w take what we see and go with it. In this book, Own and Luna think they know each other, but did they really tell each other the truth back in college? Did anyone in their circle know the truth? And could those lies be catching up to them know and influencing their future? This is a roller coaster read, you won;t be able to put down.
